How many Leave voters would vote differently today, and why?

If the referendum took place again today, the result would be exactly the same, according to the first comprehensive polling in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.

Just three per cent of Leave voters would vote to Remain today, in the knowledge of the political and economic turmoil that has followed the momentous 23 June decision. And just 1 per cent of Remain voters said they would change their vote.

The age divide

While this may or may not be true, it appears that the decisions of those that did vote were at least more well-thought out. Just one in twenty of those who wanted to change their vote were 18-24 year olds, compared to one in two from the 45-64 bracket.

Hate crime

Almost seven in ten Leavers and nine in ten Remainers have been upset about the reports of attacks and abuse which have taken place since the results were announced, according to the poll of 3,000 people by GlobalWebIndex.

Why they voted the way they did

One in four Leavers voted that way just to send a message to the Westminster political class, which was part of the initial fears that Ukip voters who "wanted to put a fox among the Westminster henhouse" in the General Election had foolishly continued this way of thinking through to the directly proportional-style referendum.

The strength of the Leave campaign was also highlighted by the results of the poll. Three in four voters said they wanted to leave the EU to "take back control", which was Vote Leave's campaign slogan.

Similarly, two thirds thought we contributed too much to the EU and two in five thought the NHS should get that money - this echoes the widely criticised pledge to give £350m a week to the NHS in the occasion of a Brexit vote.

It's more interesting that less than half of Leavers are confident about the state of the economy, despite so many saying both that they didn't want to change their mind about the referendum and that the economy was important.
